Assemblyman Michael Blake: I Am Disappointed in the Board of Elections for This Breach of Trust

Statement on the New York State Board of Elections Turning
Over Information to President Trump's Election Commission


Bronx, NY - On Wednesday, in response to the New York State Board of Elections turning over information to President Trump’s Election Commission, New York State Assembly Member Michael Blake released the following statement:

“Today, the State Board of Elections turned over voter information to President Trump’s Election Commission, validating the false claims that voter fraud is a pervasive problem in the United States.

This commission is designed to further disenfranchise communities of color, scapegoating them as the perpetrators of voter fraud. I am disappointed in the Board of Elections for this breach of trust and encourage them to discontinue any further cooperation with the Commission.”
